Unicode Error in For Loop (solved)

[noeinan]

Hello! I am trying to simplify some code so I can eventually add multiple NPCs to this without having to write out a copy for each possible NPC. However, when I added my loop, I'm getting an error message 'unicode' object has no attribute 'lhand_state' which I *think* is because when I iterate through the loop instead of npc1.lhand_state it's printing 'npc1'.lhand_state

I'm guessing this is the problem because of this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/279 ... g-json-dic

However, because quotations are special, I can't figure out how to remove these quotations! Any advice on this?

I tried adding .interkeys() as shown in the above, but didn't work. I also tried this method, and again did not work: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/python-re ... om-string/

Here's what I'm trying to do:

Code: Select all

for npc in npc_dict:
            npc.lhand_state = 0
            npc.rhand_state = 0

And here's my npc Generate function:

Code: Select all

    def GenerateMultipleNPCs(npc):
          ## npc is number of npcs you want to create
          npc_dict = {}

          for x in range(npc):
              ## add new dictionary entries named npc1, npc2, npc3 etc
              npc_dict['npc{}'.format(x+1)] = NPCList(racelist, typelist, procaselist, 1)
          return npc_dict

When you do.

Code: Select all

for npc in npc_dict:

You're actually looping on the keys of the dict and not on your npc objects.
It's also the same as...

Code: Select all

for npc in npc_dict.keys(): # loop through the keys.

Just use the .values() method of the npc dict

Code: Select all

for npc in npc_dict.values(): # loop through the values which in ur case are the npc objects.

Ah, that did it! Thank you!
